About Express Entry
Express Entry is the federal system that ranks skilled workers and invites the highest-scoring candidates to apply for permanent residence. Your profile is scored under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) — age, education, language results, work experience and a few bonus factors — and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) runs regular draws for the general pool, for provincial nominees and for specific categories such as French speakers, healthcare, STEM, trades, education and transport occupations.
The rules changed on November 3, 2026. A new Labour Market Integration factor (up to 150 points) rewards Canadian work experience in high-wage occupations and brings back points for a qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation — without a Labour Market Impact Assessment. Points for Canadian experience and for a job offer are not combined: IRCC counts whichever is higher. Many profiles will move up or down, and we re-score every client before deciding on a strategy.
FRBD does not simply submit a profile. We find the points you are leaving on the table — a second language test, a credential assessment that was done wrong, experience in the wrong NOC — and we look at provincial nomination, which adds 600 points, whenever the federal pool alone will not get you an invitation.
Who it is for
- Skilled workers abroad with at least one year of continuous skilled (TEER 0–3) experience in the last ten years — Federal Skilled Worker.
- Temporary residents with at least one year of skilled work in Canada in the last three years — Canadian Experience Class.
- Tradespeople with two years of experience and a job offer or certificate of qualification — Federal Skilled Trades.
- Candidates who fit a category draw: French-language ability (NCLC 7), healthcare and social services, STEM, trades, education, transport, physicians, senior managers and researchers with Canadian experience.
Requirements at a glance
- Language: CLB 7 in all four abilities for Federal Skilled Worker; CLB 7 (TEER 0–1) or CLB 5 (TEER 2–3) for Canadian Experience Class. Results must be under two years old.
- Education: a Canadian credential or a foreign credential with an Educational Credential Assessment.
- Federal Skilled Worker only: at least 67 of 100 points on the six selection factors — try our calculator.
- Proof of settlement funds for FSW and FST applicants (CAD $15,263 for one person, more for families; not required for CEC or with a valid Canadian job offer).
- A competitive CRS score for the draw you are targeting — recent cut-offs ranged from the high 300s for French-language draws to the 500s for Canadian Experience Class and over 700 for provincial nominees.
How FRBD helps
- A full CRS audit under the November 2026 rules, including the high-wage occupation list and the job-offer alternative.
- Language and credential strategy: which test to take, which degree to assess, and whether a second language is worth it.
- Provincial nomination planning (Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Atlantic provinces) when the federal pool is not enough.
- Profile creation, invitation response and the full permanent residence application — documents, police certificates, medicals and employer letters.
- Refused or returned? Our in-house legal team reviews the decision for a reconsideration request or Judicial Review.
Figures verified on the IRCC website on November 2, 2026. Draw cut-offs and category lists change; we confirm the current numbers before any file is opened.
